This document outlines guidelines for calculating package weight for logistics partners. Logistics partners charge for fulfillment based on the volumetric weight or actual weight of packaged products, whichever is higher. Volumetric weight is calculated based on the length, breadth and height of packages and factors in whether the weight is below or above 5 kg. Examples are provided to demonstrate how volumetric weight is calculated for packages weighing 600g and 25kg based on their dimensions. Finally, the document lists the package weight fees charged by fulfillment partners in different weight slabs.

PropertyofCluesNetworkPvt.Ltd.-Strictlyprivate&confidentialPropertyofCluesNetworkPvt.Ltd.-Strictlyprivate&confidential Weight Calculation by Logistics Partner An important part of Customer Satisfaction is the product packages that are delivered to customers. Logistics Partners, who actually provide this delivery, charge for fulfilment based on Volumetric Weight of the Packaged Product. This is calculated in mainly two slabs: a. Below 5 Kg Slab Volumetric weight is calculated as: length*breadth*height (in cm)/5000 = = Volumetric Weight in kilograms b. 5 Kg and Above Slab Volumetric weight is calculated as: {length*breadth*height (in cm)/27000}*S = = Volumetric Weight in kilograms here S is the CBM factor that varies with industry (for ShopClues the CBM factor is 8) When considering weight of the product for shipment, the actual weight is compared to the volumetric weight of the product, and the higher is chosen
